Accept this agenda?

Accept minutes from the previous meeting?

Next meeting: telcon 25 Oct? F2F?

We'll skip 25 Oct and meet at the f2f.

Jim: Will we have good enough
wifi to do VOIP at the f2f

Norm: Maybe.

Review of action items

<scribe> No progress reported
*sad panda*

Agenda prep for f2f

Norm: Finishing up the processor
profiles doc, the new requirements doc, and any step
notes
... We've got a few proposals on the table: fixing parameters
and binary (or non-XML) in pipelines
... I think working through those would be good.
... Any other suggestions?

Jim: If we can leave TPAC with a
requirements document that we can work on by telcon, then I
think that would be declaring vicory
... It would be even better if we could publish the zip
note.

Henry: Have we given up
officially on a compact syntax? I don't have a brief for it,
but I think we need to be happy with that as a decision that
we've made.

Norm: I'm happy to leave that
hanging at least through the f2f.

Alex: In the minutes last week,
there was something about how we're going to evolve the steps.
A registry for example.
... Separating the steps that we have from the language
itself.

<alexmilowski> "JF: Do we
need some discussion before we make this more specific?

<alexmilowski> AM: Yes, I
think email discussion is needed"

<alexmilowski> That's what we
said..."

Henry: I'm really quite
interested in exploring of the idea of not having a separate
spec but having a step registry
... Making it a little bit more like the IANA registry for
media types. Make it possible to publish a document that
documents a step and registers it.

Norm: Sure. The exproc.org site
and the wiki were kind of supposed to go that way but haven't
been very successful.

Henry: Successful or not, they
don't have any normative force. We'd have to decide how much
normative force we want them to have.

Murray: I'm wondering about if
XProc wants to say anything in relation to micro XML.

Norm: Can you elaborate a
little?

Murray: I think we might say that
XProc can process micro XML.

Norm: I thought micro XML
documents were XML 1.0 documents, but we could explicitly say
it.

Alex: I'm going to try to get my
1.0 requirements/use cases action item done, that would be something
to review.
